  1. Best episode of television ever:  The Sopranos: Season 3 Episode 11 "Pine Barrens", directed by Steve Buscemi.

      Well thanks @The Dude got me started on the Sopranos...again. I've got all the DVDs but just figured out it's on Amazon Prime so am watching it that way on my iPad so my wife can watch whatever stupid Hallmarkish thing she wants on TV for awhile :lol:  I'd never noticed before you mentioned it but yeah, Tony looks much younger in the pilot than he does in the 2nd episode. Didn't realize the pilot was done that much earlier.

      Change iPad to laptop and that's been exactly my life the last couple weeks.  Most relatable thing I've ever read.

      @The Dude Hulu has the first 2 seasons of Rick and Morty, will probably have season 3 up soon as it hust wrapped up.  It's the smartest show on TV, and I mean that sincerely.  Even though it looks abdolutely stupid at first glance.

      Lets not get carried away. They are good to some degree and they would have beaten Portland, Min and SA out west. They aren't world beaters but I wouldn't say they aren't good in any way shape or form.

       

      That said most playoff FG in 6 less games than the previous record holder has very little to do with playing these Celtics

      BIG ERN

      21 yo Jaylen Brown is your best player and leading scorer....enough said there. Stevens made IT look like an MVP and then see what he was when he played with the Cavs and Lakers. Again, talent wise this team is not good.

    4. Nebfanatic

      Nebfanatic

      Not trying to prop up lebron here because Marcus Morris or whoever they can put on him is not elite and the Cavs should win this series, but Boston is better than you give them credit for. I honestly think they match up better against the Warriors. But Cavs will win and get destroyed in the finals. 

       

      Horford is Bostons best player

  6. Cowherd said Nebraska is a "really interesting team nobody is talking about" in regards to the playoffs. He likes our chances against our schedule. Likes that we "play real defense and run the ball".

      God Cowherd is such a flip flopper. He's worse than any politician this country has ever had. I listened to him 1 week ago talk about Nebraska as having no chance and actually being a joke as Michigan St best win. And now this is coming off of arguably our most sluggish win of the year.

      Count, he capped off his Nebraska talk with "remember, it's not about being thr best team, it's about when you lose and winning at the right time". He mostly just liked where we sat and the schedule in front of us.

      It was a perfect hire and possibly the only one that will accomplish what Husker nation desires.

       

      As far as the defense, I’m not convinced it’s as bad as everyone seems to think. We’ll have different players and for the most part we won’t be facing the same offensive mindsets that UCF did. I thought his D played hard and aggressive, which would be a huge improvement for Nebraska. Just have to tackle better and limit the long ball plays and the B1G isn’t particularly known for wildly slinging it around the yard. I might be wrong but I thought their rush D was half way respectable.

      I echo what Mav and others said about Twitter being a news vehicle which is what I use it for in regards to quick news on sports/recruiting/etc.  I'm a heavy user of LinkedIn due to my job but even that is starting to get annoying..granted that's my own doing as I have lots of connections so my feed is going to be pretty clogged.  I've never signed up for FB but might have to for work purposes (making sure anyone my clients hire isn't a crazy person in private).

  21. I've read and heard maybe 50 times how Ohio State is going to stomp NU because they'll be mad.  My question is why can Ohio State be mad they got beat by Purdue 2 weeks ago but Nebraska can't be mad they're 2-6?

      Keep in mind our players guaranteed that the UM game was going to be as bad as it gets.  I thought that was bold considering we still had to play OSU

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I'm not too worried about them being mad. They just as easily could have doubts and the thought that if Purdue beat them then anyone could. I mean it still could get ugly for NU if our defense doesn't do a better job than they have all year but I'm not too worried about our offense being able to move the ball. I expect a high scoring shootout that will come down to whether or not we can make a few stops or get some turnovers. If we turn it over and can't stop them, then it might get ugly.

    4. Moiraine

      Moiraine

      It's not relevant whether they're mad.  They scored 56+ points on us each of the last 3 times we played them and they weren't "mad" then. So what if they score 70 on us instead of 56?

      No way MSU beats us. The only way they beat us, is if their defense scores 20+ on us. Iowa could very well be a trap game for us. Remember, we don't have a great history with a Greg Davis offense. This year he has somewhat of a QB he is use to utilizing while have a monster RB in Weisman.

  24. I think there's something to be said about a successful football team having an identity. Whether it be Baylor or whether it be Stanford or whether it be Oregon, Wisconsin, Alabama, or Nebraska of old. It's year 6 under Bo, and what exactly is the identity of his team supposed to be? Fumblitis doesn't count.

      Doubt it Nick. Sherman completely erases one half of the field. Peyton didn't even look his way for nearly every snap. Doesn't matter what kind of talent is on the other side/at safety, that half of the field is gone soley because he's there.
